The Bruce Reunion 2010-Viva San Antonio!

We arrived in San Antonio in time for the Great American Rubber Ducky Race on the San Antonio River. We picked ours and cheered them on... (Our ducks lost.)The rest of the families arrived on Friday and we ate dinner together at the Little Red Barn, a well-known local restaurant. The entire next day, Sunday was spent at Sea World ...what a great time! The walrus show may have been everyone's favorite.

We took several long strolls together along the River Walk, giving us all time to just chat and renew our relationships.                Trivia question: what are the two most visited tourist sites in Texas? (Answers at the end)

A river boat ride on the San Antonio River was a must!

One day we had breakfast at the Guenther House, one of the city's best secrets, then took the Trolley all over town.  The trollies are part of the bus system and a great way to sightsee on the cheap!

We went shopping at the Mercado (Mexican market.)

We ate in the Tower of the Americas Observation deck.

Meg and her "Daddy Carl"

          One evening in the hotel was spent just sharing stories and performing fun stuff for each other: songs, dances, poetry.  Meg's Father, Carl, 98 years old and a WWII veteran, led us all in the Pledge of Allegiance.

At the Snake Farm

The day at the San Antonio Zoo , ranked in the top three nationally, was loads of fun for everyone. The lorikeet exhibit was the biggest hit of all!

Well, did you get the answers to the trivia question?  The two most visited tourist attractions in Texas are in this order: the Alamo and the River Walk.  

We made the Wyndham LaCascada Hotel our home for the week.  This was the night view from the roof.  Bruce Reunion 2010 was a wonderful success thanks to everyone who was here.

It has been said that every Texan has two hometowns: his own and San Antonio!  Be sure and visit. And if you need a guide or ideas, just let us know.    Y'all come!
